Nicolas Godin Oval Space, 29-32 The Oval, E2 9DY Access: a passenger lift and “accessible toilets” are available, but the venue requires these to be “booked” in advance (!). See FAQs on the Oval Space’s website. Wednesday, 11th November Doors open 8pm; entry to over-18s only Nicolas Godin, one half of the French electronic duo AIR, will perform live at Oval Space this November! His much anticipated debut solo album has been released on Because Records, and you can stream it exclusively on The Guardian right now. The new album, Contrepoint, is remarkable: every track is based on a piece of music by Bach and leaps off this springboard into a pool of rock, jazz or electronic music. Tickets are £19/70 from: https://tickets.songkick.com/events/24847204
Yacht Oslo Hackney, Monday, 16th November (Venue access details awaited.) Their promoters say that US synth-pop duo Yacht have impressed yet again with the title track from their forthcoming LP “I Thought The Future Would Be Cooler” and this is a single from a band which is seriously exciting. Your reviewer would go as far as to say “seriously interesting” but is worried that the music is too simple, with not enough variety to get into: still, if that’s your bag..
